“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, […]
The fact that we are jumping into May seems unfathomable to me. January was two minutes ago. I started a new job, everything was new, and there was so much to do. There’s still so much to do–that hasn’t changed. Progress is being made on all fronts. I can see that, but it’s never enough. […]
It’s too late to get deep into a bunch of words this week. I’ll leave you with this sad factoid. In 2000, Alabama became the last state in the USA to overturn its ban on interracial marriage. OK, with that as your baseline, let’s look at some smart ideas, pretty stuff, and more positive creative […]
Running a little behind schedule today–but that seems to be a theme lately. I’ll catch up soon. Juggling was never my strong suit. It wasn’t the throwing, I was never great at the catching part. I was much better with a yo-yo. Rock the baby, man on the flying trapeze, and round the worlds all […]
Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple […]
A few years ago, If I told you that you could just think of an idea and a computer could turn that into a photo-realistic image you’d call it science fiction. We’ve all seen this stuff now: ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and others. There are so many headlines about the computers taking creative jobs and […]

I finally got around to posting my 2022 book review post. It’s not as comprehensive as I would have liked, but rather than waiting for 3 months to pass, I opted for getting something up over making something perfect. Perfect is a lie anyway. Graphic Design/Branding Pepsi’s 7UP rebrand is rather gorgeousJust check out that […]
There isn’t enough time in the day, week, or month. That’s how it feels lately. Maybe it’s the new year energy, I don’t know. It’s February and I’ve got a long list of to-do’s. First one that I’m checking off–another creative links post. Enjoy. Illustration/3D Melitta Annual Report 2020DAQ Studio Various Illustrations 2022 – 2023Denis […]
I’ve been mildly obsessed with Dune since I read the original trilogy back in 2017. I saw the Sting movie, yes. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t hit me like the books. I haven’t read the fourth, fifth and sixth books. At this point, I’m more worried the luster will fade. I should read them, […]
